Having recently done a custom build, I have a load of stickers that came with the parts.
This is not a thread about asking if I should put them on my bike (shudders invoulantry) but rather an observation on whether people would.

stickers on your bike - "taboo" or "to do" ?

Bikes look daft with stickers, helmets can look good. If you do it right.

I tend to take them off rather than put them on
Saying that, I do have a 'Charlie the Bike Monger' sticker on a seat-stay where my heel rubs

I wouldn't. The components already have their names on, they don't need them duplicated on the downtube or wherever
I stick bike related stickers on my toolboxPosted 2 years ago # -
Stickers are good for covering up scratches. Keep them until your bike gets a bit battered.

"helmets can look good. If you do it right"
Dirt Jump and Full face helmets perhaps, but XC or road helmets?Posted 2 years ago # -
I remove all the stickers already on the bike / components includeing all the naff graphics. Plain looks so much better

All depends on the stickers - I prefer stuff thats not bike related.

non-bike-related stickers = OK.
just put this one on mine

On my main bikes, no. On my hack bike, yes. Infact, it's covered in them as a half arsed deterrent for thieves as it makes the bike very identifiable or they at least have to spend an hour taking them all off.

we had a van for such things, then we sold it
don't mind a couple of carefully placed small stickers, small mavic ones work well on chain/seat stays and i have a Liteoptions one on my race bike cos i use liteoptions lights

Crazy talk.

There's only one sticker I ever used on bike or helmet.
Way back when, from MBUK, there came some Mint Sauce stickers. I stuck one of them on the back of my helmet. It was a very small, text only sticker which just said "This is why"
Wish I could get another....!

I like stickers. I'd only put a sticker on my bike if I owned a part/kit made by that company.

Bike coponent stickers should be put in the bin, well uncool.
I'd like to remove all the stickers on my bike but for some reason Cotic decided it would be a class idea to laquer over them. Its awful
